Turkey Chop Suey
This is fast and easy any way you cook it, but I prefer the electric skillet. Put the rice in the microwave just before you start this, and everything will be ready at the same time. Rice does not cook faster in the microwave, but it is easier because it requires no tending. Use a large flat-bottomed casserole for the rice so it will not boil over. Consult you microwave book for directions. Energy-saving tip: Have everything ready before you start cooking or some foods ay overcook if they have to wait for the next step. Or let family members or friends help wit the chopping and stirring.

Turkey Burger
2 Serving
Ground turkey makes a much healthier burger than ground beef. Substitute a whole wheat bun for a white one if you can. You can also “spice up” the ground turkey by adding a little sauteed green onion, garlic or fresh ginger root or by mixing some salsa into the meat before cooking it.
Start to finish: 15 minutes
4 oz ground turkey
1 whole wheat hamburger bun
1 slice tomato
1/2 cup lettuce
2 tbsp salsa
Drain the artichoke hearts. Combine in a blender or food processor with the canned soybeans and process until smooth. Saute the garlic and ginger in the olive oil then stir in the artichoke heart/soybean puree and add the vegetable stock. Stir well and heat through.

PORK CHOPS WITH SAUERKRAUT & BEER
4 pork chops, 1" thick
1/2 c. chopped onion
1 (16 oz.) can sauerkraut, drained
1 tsp. caraway seed (opt.)
1 (12 oz.) can beer
In 8" square dish arrange chops with thickest meaty areas to edge and “tails” to center. Sprinkle evenly with onion. Spread sauerkraut over top. Sprinkle with caraway. Pour beer around chops. Cover dish tightly with plastic wrap, turning back one corner to vent. Microwave at Medium for 35 to 40 minutes, rotating dish 1/2 turn after 17 minutes. Makes 4 servings.
When I made this I didn’t have any sauerkraut so I sliced up a small greenpepper and some fresh mushrooms and added these instead. You may want to try this with thinly sliced potatoes instead of sauerkraut too.
